Day by (Miserable) Day

Once again it has been a while since I blogged. I just haven't had anything new to say. The only thing that has really changed recently is that Sean & Bobbi Jo have been living with us now for 3 weeks. They might as well be angels. The quote "many hands make light work" has come true in our home. More hands to help with the cooking and cleaning has been a huge blessing. Not to mention the fact that Sean & Bobbi have more energy than Peter & I have right now and are an incredible help with the boys. Now we just have to figure out how to keep them. I fear that the next 4+ weeks that they have left with us will go by all too fast. Considering their visa issues, we don't know how or when we will see them again anytime soon in the U.S.

As for me, I am officially beyond miserable. The day Alyma Joy arrives will be a glorious day for many reasons. For one, I can't wait to see her face and find out what color her hair is! I also can't wait to start dressing her in some of the cute clothes she has hanging up in the closet so far. For two, I will be delivered from my miseries in more ways than one. Of course every pregnant woman is uncomfortable in the last month or so. I am very good at growing a larger-than-your-average-large belly and I have done it yet again. Who isn't ready to give birth by the end of 9 months??? Now add to the discomfort the following: sciatica, trips to the bathroom every 15-30 minutes around the clock, crazy allergies and extreme sleep deprivation. I mean, really now. A woman in my state can only handle so much at once. I feel overwhelmed at this point. Even though this goes completely against my feelings about induction, I just might take a merciful doctor up on his offer to help me get this baby out ASAP should such an offer be made. Number three is supposed to slide out like a wet fish, right??? :)

Well, I feel a nap coming on. Even though I probably won't be able to actually sleep, I just can't keep my eyes open any longer. Please pray that this baby comes very, very soon!
